Therapy style

Do you notice an increase in anxiety, fear, irritability, poor concentration, self-doubt, and/or struggle to navigate a loss? Are your ways of coping ineffective or maybe adding to your struggles? Is it hard to make sense of why your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and body are responding as they do, and even more confusing as to how to make it stop? Have you sought medical and pharmaceutical support but want to address the underlying ‘why’, not just numb out the symptoms? You want connection, a sense of belonging within yourself and with others, meaning, and wellness to thrive not just survive. I have been providing anxiety, grief, stress, and trauma-informed psychotherapy to individual adults since 2013 starting in a residential addiction treatment setting before private practice and now teletherapy to men and women across the state of Texas. I continue to grow my knowledge base through involvement with organizations such as Trauma Support Services of North Texas, the Trauma Research Foundation, and ongoing self-study. Yet only you are the expert of you and I serve as a facilitator of healing through adaptive coping skills to regulate the mind/body connection, evidence-based processing interventions, and collaborating on creative new approaches to challenging thoughts, feelings, relationships, and experiences.  The path to healing is often challenging but with encouragement, support, and maybe even a bit of humor, growth can be an adventure that is well worth the investment!
